Essay On Match Point

In addition to the production design and cinematography, the music used also adds value to the semiotic analysis and symbolism to the character of Chris Wilton. He has his own theme music once he is about to engage in something bad or when he turns into a superior man. The music is from Enrico Caruso opera song Mi Par D’dur Ancora that can also be described as the man who once said I rather be lucky than good. It demonstrates the power of will in and the strength of what man can be considered a God in the hyperreality world of Match Point (2005). Moreover, the acting of the characters from the main cast to the supporting all have different aesthetics and body language that demonstrate a distinctive feel that the audience takes away. We see Chloe wearing a white shirt in her first scene and a slow tilt up camera technique that elucidates the persuasion of the character from the bottom all the way to her eyes. Woody is known to have a female protagonist in his films that partake in sexual activities and that are easily to engage in with a little to no repercussions. Of course, in an ethical world, it is considered morally wrong to engage in those types of activities, but in movies, one has the power to create the illusion and the fantasy world that could be argued that it never truly

existed.
The repercussions of infidelity lead to many dishonorable, evil, and unpleasant things in the world we live in today. In contrast, if one is a believer in God, the repercussions are that punishment will be proven in hell. In reality, the consequences can also be cruel as it has its own laws and beliefs. An example of this is when someone cheats on his spouse it may lead to a divorce, break-up, or anything that will eventually be bad for the person. That is why we as a society have beliefs and laws in the world we live in today. And if someone breaks the two, he is considered a sinful man to many that with will eventually have evil aftermath of his/her doings. According to Truth About Deception, they have conducted a study of why people would actually engage in such activity and in trying to understand the motive. The first is well known, if someone engages in a sexual activity, it may be because he/she is has problems in the relationship. However, this is not the case for Chris Wilton, as he didn’t have any problem before meeting Nola Rice that finally changed his way of philosophy. The second study was understanding human’s nature from the beginning of mankind to today. One could argue that this is a justifiable reason on why a person like Chris would cheat. Although, there is a little background exposition on Chris Wilton, we have a brief idea of who he was in the past and also what he loves and adores as stated earlier. He may be selfish and engaging but what needs to be understood is the absurd way of representing the British setting. Woody is notorious for being atheist and in the majority of his movies including this one represents a factor on his belief of God’s existence. His way of encoding can be easily spotted in such form. “A Woody Allen film will conjure up one of two different two different worlds” (Librach pg.167). In other words, we have the hyperreality world in Chris Wilton’s point of view in which he makes his own power of will and has the strength of mankind in his nature. Woody Allen created this sophisticated character for the audience to understand and to ultimately question two things: does God exist and is man a superior being? When it comes to answering Woody Allen’s approach in God, he states, “If it turns out that there is a God, I don’t think that he is evil. But the worst you could say about him is that he is an underachiever” (Allen). Indeed, that is certainly a mock to God and to those who believe in God, but he makes a valid point. He knows that the world is evil and cruel and that making movies is a distraction the society. However, the repercussions may be an illusion to someone like Allen, but to Chris Wilton, justice has to be served as such ways of living is unethical and evil.
The sudden dramatic outcome in the feature film questions the morality of the society we live in today.

Match Point (2005) is not a film to watch to be entertained, but a film to watch and study as it has many questions that are yet unanswered. As part of the character’s existentialism, the fear is trying to satisfy both greed and lust by having Chris not to lose both. The deep message in the film questions the world we live in today. It also questions gender equality, the upper class lives and humanity in the civilization. Overall, Allen created a superior man that is a God in the film, and that the repercussions of such acts are proven to be the definition of

luck.
